Nearly blinded out and come back from the dead
 

I am playing at the pokerroom 4000 frenzy. ($2 buy-in plus rebuys)

I had to leave for about 30-45 minutes, and got blinded away to 300 chips when I got back. The blinds were actually 150/300.

Less than a rotation to go and I find AKo in LP.
I push (call the blind) and triple up.

A bit of breathing room. I find 88 maybe 2 rotations later. I push in EP and get a repush from an LP player. he flips over A9o. He hits a 9 on the flop, but I hit a miracle two outer on the river.

A bit later I find AQ [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and I push along with 3 others. I wind up splitting with another AQ and we split up the other 3 guys all-ins plus blinds. Now, i'm upto 13,576

I'm sitting in a decent spot. But the blinds are getting big.

Well, I made it to the money. I'm guaranteed at least $10 hooray!

love the 8xBB raise with JJ

Re: Nearly blinded out and come back from the dead
 

Tried for a steal. I guess. This table was so nuts and I knew that I didn't want to see a flop with JJ. I knew that there would be no way anyone could call with out the goods, and after someone raised, I was pretty much committed.

I'm just bummed that my AK lost to a K10 when I went out in this tournament. I pushed all-in with average/slightly below average stack and the BB called with the discount. No real money until the final table, but atleast I got over 5x my buy in (2 dollars) for such a weak finish
